Former White Sox third base coach Joe McEwing will serve as the team's new bench coach.

Former bench coach Rick Renteria was elevated to the manager position last week. McEwing managed for multiple seasons in the minors for the White Sox, so his new role is a natural fit. Former director of player development Nick Capra will become the White Sox' new third base coach, while former minor league pitching coordinator Curt Hasler will be the new bullpen coach.

Renteria will be officially introduced at a press conference Monday morning at U.S. Cellular Field. He's taking over for Robin Ventura, who resigned Sunday after a mostly disappointing five-year run with the White Sox. Renteria managed the crosstown Cubs for just one year in 2014, before getting pushed out -- somewhat unceremoniously -- for Joe Maddon. Renteria served as Ventura's bench coach on the south side of Chicago in 2016. Oct 3 - 10:07 AM

Renteria was officially fired by the Cubs Friday with Joe Maddon slated to take over in Chicago. The Twins had reportedly been down to Paul Molitor and Torey Lovullo as they look to replace Ron Gardenhire, but it appears Renteria may get an interview. Fri, Oct 31, 2014 03:21:00 PM

The Cubs on Friday announced that they have fired manager Rick Renteria.

Renteria was offered another position with the club but declined. This puts the Cubs in position to hire Joe Maddon, though the move isn't official yet. It's merely a formality, however. Fri, Oct 31, 2014 02:49:00 PM

We knew it would take quite a haul for the White Sox to give up three years of one of the best pitchers in the game, and they managed to find it from Boston. Moncada, the centerpiece of the deal, is one of the top position prospects in all of baseball. He turns 22 in May and batted .294/.407/.511 with 15 homers and 45 stolen bases over 106 games last season between High-A and Double-A. Moncada struggled during his first exposure to the majors, but that wasn’t unexpected given his age and inexperience against advanced pitching. He should get a shot with the big club at some point in 2017, likely at second base. There’s still fantasy mega-stud potential here.
